A source (now forgotten) indicated that the IBM software package
   "PC 3270 Emulation Program, Version 3.0"
provides MS Windows compatible support for IBM's 3270 board.  Further
research finds that this product has been replaced/renamed by
   "PC Personal Communications/3270"
Can anyone confirm or deny this information?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, PC 3270 Emulation Program has been replaced by the newer product
PC Personal Communications/3270.  As to its compatability under MS-Windows
I can't tell you but we do run both products on this campus and several
differing versions of PC 3270 Emu. Program.

There is a new product called "IBM Windows Connection 2.0" which provides
support for 3270 and 5250 connections.  Interestingly, it the interface
is via DDE rather than the standard HLLAPI that is provided for OS/2.

Digital Communications Associates (IRMA) provides a HLLAPI interface and
the other major package (whose name escapes me at the moment) provides
a package that is sort of like HLLAPI, but breaks out the calls as
individual subroutine calls that take a window handle in addition to
the standard parameters.
